A) The porterhouse steaks they've boosted inside those fake Tide boxes.
B) The deal they've just struck to knock off each other's husbands.
C) Which of their charming ranch-style homes will be the site of their next sex toy party.

The correct answer, of course, is that they're talking about my latest collage sheet, Retro Moms. It's loaded with unreal housewives and fabulous 50s accoutrements like a fashion-forward fridge, a wood-paneled station wagon, a space-age blender and a cabinet teevee. Add a fistful of bennies and a pitcher of martinis, and you'll be ready to leave your made-in-China living for the nostalgic world of real American kitsch.

Sorry I've lagged behind on posting the freebs but I've had stuff going on. You know. Trying to make a buck. :) Trying not to spend every buck I make. Just about everybody's in the same boat (99% by some estimates) and that's why I'm so very grateful to all of you who stop by my shop and pick up an art sheet or two. Bless you who buy, and bless you even more who can't.I think about my customers the whole time I'm working on new sheets. I know that a lot of you use my images to design crafts to sell, and I think about what will help you make a sale. I hunt for unique graphics and photos and put a lot of work into formatting them into crisp, clear, impactful images in the small sizes many customers prefer. I get a lot of pleasure from working with vintage images, but my greatest satisfaction comes from helping others achieve their goals. I hope the free images I post here are as useful to you as the ones I sell. To make up for lost time, here's a bunch with something for everyone.PS: I changed my blog format so it's easier to find images.

It has just sunk in that Halloween is right around the corner, a little ways down the street, and hiding inside the dark alley where it's waiting to choke me to death. (I've got to stop reading the local news in brief.) Here's one of the images that will be slowly slithering its way onto one of my scary sheets. With much sibilance. Like a snake. Ssssssss.
